The lily family multiplies Itself fairly rapidly from bulbs, he rays. More rapid progress can be made with seeds, but the plants will not run true to form. First Ismano IJly Grower. Mr. Pierce was the original Wash ington grower of the ismane lily or Peruvian daffodil, a native South American flower, which rapidly is making a place for itself in American gardens. It bears a white flower with green stripes and with a very delicate perfume. It is not a true lily, but is a closer relative to the daffodil. Pierce is obtaining a considerable collection of the half-lilies which flourished in old-fashioned gardens, but which since have been greatly depleted. He hopes to do something to restore them to popularity. These include such flowers as the lily of the valley, the fairy Illy and the day lily. The best results for Washington gardeners. Pierce believes, probably can be obtained from such varieties as the white Madonna lily and the Easter lily, which not only yield large blossoms of fine quality, but are fairly hardy. Comparatively little cultiva tion, he believes, will produce for the amateur a glorious succession of bloom in early Summer from these types. The one feature of their <;ul tlvation which must be watched very closely is the type of soil to which they are suited. Some thrive in acid soil while others would die very quickly in such surroundings. Some insist on very damp surroundings, while others thrive best with little water. Sent to Mine School. First Lieut.
